The magic show

1. Match them up!

Draw a line to match the picture and the word.

Pete cape cube nine rose

Magic ‘e’ makes short vowel sounds long:

a = cap a + magic ‘e’ = cape
e = pet e + magic ‘e’ = Pete
i = hid i + magic ‘e’ = hide
o = hop o + magic ‘e’ = hope
u = cub u + magic ‘e’ = cube

2. Find the spelling!

Look at the words. Circle the words that have magic ‘e’ at the end.

‘a’: cap cape hat snake name sat

‘e’: Pete pet red eve spell here
‘i’: hid hide five sit nine trick
‘o’: hope hop on rose long nose
‘u’: cube cub flute luck fun tune
